Bible text(s)

Habakkuk 1

1This is the message that the LORD revealed to the prophet Habakkuk.

Habakkuk Complains of Injustice

2O LORD, how long must I call for help before you listen, before you save us from violence? 3Why do you make me see such trouble? How can you endure to look on such wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are all round me, and there is fighting and quarrelling everywhere. 4The law is weak and useless, and justice is never done. Evil people get the better of the righteous, and so justice is perverted.
